Detailed Description

TrakMotive AD-8080 is a CV axle shaft for front right driveline service on 1997-1999 Audi A4 Quattro, 2000 Audi A4 Quattro with a 33-spline outboard joint, and 2000-2001 Volkswagen Passat. The axle uses a bolt-on inboard connection with six inboard shaft bolts, an Audi-style spline bolt outboard joint, and an integrated ABS tone ring for vehicles equipped with ABS. TrakMotive’s CV Axle Shaft line focuses on replacement fitment for driveline repair, and this part number is built as a new unit for direct service replacement.

This part cross-references Cardone New 66-7329 for the same application.

What It Helps Repair

• Clicking or popping during turns caused by worn CV joints
• Vibration under acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
• Grease leakage from a torn or deteriorated boot
• ABS warning concerns related to a worn tone ring or sensor signal issue
• Driveline noise from excessive axle play or joint wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front right fitment, spline count, and axle length before installation. Confirm the vehicle uses the correct ABS configuration, since ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the manufacturer. Check axle bolt thread size, inboard bolt pattern, and hub interface during service to ensure proper seating and torque.

Quality Assurance

TrakMotive states this CV axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The manufacturer also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification, supporting controlled production and quality management for replacement driveline components.
